I EXCITEMENT.O ON ORANGE STRE EFT | A Hold Attempt blade To Rob the Residence of Mrs. Samuel Davis Al 285 Orange Street-An Officer Chasee The Burglar, Hut He Escapes In a Cab-Mrs Davts' Son Thought To Have Been Followed From the De. pot By Thieves.
 There was a bold attempt at burglary l made on the residence of Mrs. Samuel Davis l at 295 Orange street shortly after last mid l night by some unknown parties.
 The house is most favorably located for the purposes of any evil doers. The yard in | the rear is full of shrubbery. The lot ad- joining on the Pearl street side is vacant and dead shrubbery covers it.
 The reception to the military was given in the Union League building. Every officer of the army, navy and militia in the city had
 received card for the reception and nearly
 every man of them was present. They were
 presented to Generals Sheridan and Scho-
 field and Admiral Luce, after which an in-
 formal dinner was served in the annex.
 Officer Sullivan has the beat on which the
 house is located. He became suspicious
 while walking along Orange street near No.
 oOo LudC all was HOL Woii ho ulQ Den1OO a
 tree and very soon heard blind open and
 a vain endeavor made to raise window. He could see the shadow thrown by the man at the window from out the darkness. He got up little closer and the man went around to
 the rear and raised the cellar door, letting it drop. At this junoture and as the officer was about to make break for the burglar an empty cab was driven down Orange street at furious pace.
 The officer approached the rear cautiously, but the burglar made wild break upon catching sight of the officer and leaped the fence in the darkness at bound into the shrubbery lot. The officer followed but the burglar made good his escape. The cob which had been driven by the burglar had stopped unnoticed at the corner of Humphrey and Orange streets. While the officer was examining the premises further it is thought that the burglar was being driven away, as when the officers went to look for the cab it was gone. Mrs. Davis, who resides in the house, said at an early hour this morning that no one occupied the first floor apartments. Her son, Benjamin Davis, graduate of Yale, had arrived home at 12:30 from a reception at Milford. She says that few minutes before her sons arrival she heard "a cab approach and stop at the street corner below. Her son walked home. It is thought he was followed from Union depot by someone who intended robbery, as he was well dressed fellow.
 of evidence that bold attempt had been made to enter the house. Had it not been for the officers timely arrival the evil doers might have succeeded.

mrs. CIeveland's R eRsOns For Not Ac- cept1ng the Invitation of the New

Mrs. CIeveIand's R eRsons For Not Ac-
 cept1ng the Invitation of the New
 York Aldermen.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-President Ueekman of the board of aldermen wrote President Cleveland September 12 expressing regret that the invitation to Mrs. Cleveland to pre- sent certain flags to the New York fremen had been construed by some part of the pub lie as implying an affront to the President inasmueh as he was not included in the in : vitation. MT. Beekman assured the President that the aldermen had too high respect for him personally and officially to intentionally commit such a breach of etiquette The President replied under date of Septembef1S 3 that both Mrs. Cleveland and himself had been annoyed by what seemed to be deter imitation in some quarters to lend to Mrs. Clevelands declination significance never for a moment intended. Neither of them had the slightest idea that any discourtesy to the President was intended or that any appeared in the form of invitation, nor was Mrs. Cleve- lands reply intended in any way to recognize or admit the existence of any such intention or appearance. The question presented to Mrs. Cleveland was whether she was willing to assume such public role entirely inde- pendent of her husband and not as an ad- Junct or incident to something he was to do. Her judgment and feelings were against it and she declined the invitation 'tI am very glad the did," concludes the President, sbe- cause if the plain meaning of her declination is distorted I sure her conduct would have been if she had accepted. With this explanation the regret common to us both is that the good people of New York and the members of her grand fire department should be in the least disappointed.

all of whom were headed by regimental bands. The commanders of each turned face about sas they reached the Presidents stand and with the cheers of thousands and the sweet strains of music the throngs of peo- pie were completely enraptured. During the time they were passing the President remain ed standing with his head uncovered and an- swered each salut5-as it was given. Orders had previously been issued by the depart- ment commander of the G. A. R. that only post commanders should salute, the men in line to walk facing ahead. This was not strictly adhered to, however, and many of those of the rank and file passed by the stand with uncovered heads, and when Garfield post No. 4 of Newark came up the front ranks turned "face about" and sent up rousing cheer for the chief magistrate which he graciousIy acknowledged. The cheer was taken up by the crowd and carried to the echo. It was just quarter to three when the last of the Grand Army men passed. After the end of the parade had passed the First City Troop of Philadelphia cavalry were drawn up in double columns for the purpose of escorting the presidential par ty back to the hotel, which was less than half 6 square distant As the President de- scended the steps to the street leaning on the arm of ex-Minister John A. Kasson he was greeted with tremendous applause, the peo- pie yelling themselves hoarse in their anxiety to show their appreciation of his presence. Directly behind the President and MT. Kas- son came-Secfetaries Bayardz. and Fairchild, and next came Admiral Luce and his staff.
 When all the party reached the street they walked almost in. the middle of the street to their quarters at the hotel, preceded and fol- lowed by portions of the city troops. As they walked along there was one, continual round of cheering, to which the President responded by removing his hat. There were probably thirty thousand men in the line of parade, five or six thousand of whom were Grand Army men. Shortly after the New York troops had pass ed, Mrs. Cleveland, Private Secretary Lamont and wife, MT. Drexel and the others who were with Mrs. Cleveland on the Lafayette Hotel balcony retired and were driven to the Bellevue Hotel where they took luncheon with Mir. and Mrs. George w. Chifds, the invitation to the luncheon at that hour hav-
 ing been accepted early in the day.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-A dreadful collision occurred to-day on the Midland railway. A train filled with exeursionists, who were go- ing to Doncaster to witness theraces at that place, was standing on a crossings mile from Doncaster while the tickets were being eol- lected when the Liverpool express dashed in- to it. The eusrd box was smashed and the first carriage of the Liverpool train was tele- scoped by the next succeeding carriage and broken to splinters. It was long, before the injured and dying who were in the ruins could 3be rescued. Twenty four per- sons were killed and many of the injured cannot recover.
